Gas Leak Forces Evacuations in Cupertino, Residents Return Safely

Evacuations have been initiated in Cupertino due to a gas-to-water leak, as reported by the Santa Clara County Fire Department.

The fire department announced that the evacuation and shelter-in-place orders for the 7800 block of Creekline Drive have been lifted as of 11:15 a.m.

The fire department has announced that all residents can return home and safely navigate the neighborhood.

A representative from Pacific Gas and Electric has verified that the matter has been resolved.

“We stopped the leak at 10:26 a.m. and crews are currently onsite working as safely and quickly as possible to make repairs,” said J.D. Guidi, a PG&E spokesman.

Building on the remarks made by the representative from PG&E, “Your radiator has burst a hose and is now leaking.” First, you address the issue and then proceed with the necessary fixes. “They are currently working on repairs to restore its functionality,” stated Matt Mokhtarian, information officer for Santa Clara County Fire.

Mokhtarian stated that the incident resulted in no injuries.

Guidi stated, “We received the first report at 8:01 a.m. this morning. A gas service representative was onsite at 8:15 a.m. and a leak was found on a half-inch plastic service line at 7828 Creekline Drive.

“(The leak) only impacted the one customer; only one customer is without service,” Guidi said.

Guidi has stated that the investigation into the source of the leak is currently underway.

“I was told it appears there was a water leak as well, which may have impacted our line and is under investigation,” Guidi said.
